Founded by Joe Traeger, a young entrepreneur who boarded an empty banana boat on its homeward run toward Cuba from Miami. The boat’s engine failed, and Joe spent six days adrift with the crew discussing the industrial climate in Cuba and discovering what seemed to be an untapped demand there for US products. The Traeger family completed their first industrial sale in 1924, shipping used tractor parts to Cuba on empty banana boats.

After the Cuban revolution the name was changed from the Cuban American Export Company to Traeger Brothers.
